Re: [orca-list] Update Re: Chromium: If you are having problems with Orca saying nothing....

Hi,

tab and alt+tab to get Chrome to work fails here. I will create a debug.out of the task if you want one though. It might be worth investigating whether the Mate version causes the problem. I am running 1.24.

Hi again.

So there seems to be potentially two things going on.:

1. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1062755
    Missing accessibility events for Chromium window activation if MATE
    is being used

    This might be a MATE bug. Things work as expected in GNOME. At least
    for me.

2. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1062863
    Regression: Incorrect state on Chrome/Chromium window in MATE causes
    Orca to not present items

    The behavior being seen here might be a side effect of the previous
    item. Again, we have the right state on the window in GNOME.

My colleagues will investigate. In the meantime, even though it's
admittedly a drag, Alt+Tabbing out of the window and back into it just
once seems to be sufficient to cause the missing events and states to be
correct. At least for my MATE environment.

HTH and thanks, as always for all your help and testing!
